SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 605,818, dated June 14, 1898.

' Application filed N0vember 3, 1897. Serial No. 657,307. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern: I Be it known that I, HOWARD GIDDINGS, a citizen of the United States, residing at Ohicago, in the county of Cook and State of Illinois, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Pendent Cigar-Lighters, of which the following is a specification.

Myinvention is related to improvements in gas-fixtures, and. especially those used in stores where cigars are sold; and the objects of my inventionfare, first, to provide a shield to protect the flame from being blown out by the wind when the doors are open, and, second, to provide a conspicuous place for an advertisement on the face of the shield. I

attain these objects by a mechanism illus-' trated in the accompanying drawings, in which- Figure l is a perspective view showing a cigar-lighter'with the shield attached. Fig. 2 is a Vertical front View of the device. Fig. 3 is a vertical sectional view, out on line 3 3, in detail.

The two flaps are provided with lugs B. The lugs are provided with apertures to receive a screw 0. A bead F is formed in the neck. A bellshaped cup D isprovided, having an aperture in the bottom fitted with a screw-thread.

to receive the cup. The shield is fitted or placed around the cup, with the rim in the bead. 'The screw 0 is inserted in the places provided for it, and the lugs are drawn together, thus clamping the shield firmly to the cup D. Thecup, with the shield attached, is then screwed onto the gas-tip E, as seen in Fig. l. An advertisement may be placed on the concaved surface of the shield, as shown in'Figs. 1 and 2, in a way that when the lighter is used it must be seen by the user.

Having described my invention, what I claim, and wish to secure by Letters Patent,

The combination in a pendent cigar-lighter of the shield A, having a bead on the neck and lugs on the flaps, said lugs provided with a clamp-screw C, the bell-shaped cup having a screw-thread in the bottom part and a rim on the upper or top part, adapted to fit the said bead on the neck of said shield, the gastip E provided with a thread adapted to re- M.
